Understanding the relationship between Self Sovereign Identity and Decentralized Identity🥷 - Self Sovereign Identity (SSI) is a framework for managing digital identities that emphasizes complete user data control & privacy by the sovereign individual. Which means users control their own identity data & can choose to share it with others when, what, and how they want 🧑‍💻. - Decentralized identity, as we see it at Litentry, is a pseudonymous identity paradigm based on decentralized open web data, such as blockchain ledgers, and controlled by cryptographic key-pairs. We use SSI framework on top of this data to enable maximum data control & privacy🔑. - Decentralized identities are ideal for SSI because users of blockchain & crypto are familiar with key-pairs. It uses trusted parties verified by cryptography to securely share info, giving individuals control over their data & access. Thus essential for self-sovereign identity🛡️
